Summary

Wittgenstein, recognized as one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, indicated in 1929 that he had discovered a new approach to it, a new "way of thinking". Hilmy's book unlocks many of the secrets of the emergence of Wittgenstein's later new approach, through the most systematic and thorough research to date of his unpublished papers. Hilmy explains the logical genesis of key features of Wittgenstein's later way of thinking, and his study refutes several popular misconceptions about both the development and nature of Wittgenstein's later philosophy. This book is suitable for graduate philosophers and academics.
